lature of the state of Texas: That the
city or town council of any city or town

general laws, shall have power by Ordin
anCe to levy and collect an annual ad
valOrem tax sufficient TO meet the inter
est and sinking fund on alI Indebtedness
legally incurred prior to the adoption of
the constitutional amendment in 1888, re-
garding the power of cities and JoWns 10
levy and collect taxes, etc, and may levy
and collect % cents on the 500 valuation
of al the property in such city or town
for current expenses, and may levy and
collect an additional tax of % cents on
the 500 dollars valuation, for
the purpose of constructing, or
the purchase OF public5 build
ings, waterwUrks, sewers, street improve
ments and other permanent improve
ments within the limits of such city or
town, and all cities and towns providing
for such improvements shall have the
power to issue coupon bonds of the city
therefore, in such sum or sums as they
may deem expedient, to bear interest not
exceeding 10 per cent. per annum; pro-
vided, that the aggregate amount of
DOQuS lSSuCu lOI Lie dUOkG EdMHu puE-
pose shall never reach an amount where
the tax of One-fOurth of l per cent. will
not pay current interest and provide a
sunking fund sufficient to pay the prlnci-
pal at maturity, and the amount of bonds
legally issued under acts passed prior to
the adoption of the present constitution
shall not be computed in estimating the
amount of bonds which may be issued for
the above named city improvements.
Within the meaning of this act shall be
included building sites and buildings for

the exclusive control and management of

Sec. 3. Whereas, there is some doubt
as to the existing power OF cities and
towns within this state to levy and col
lect taxes for the purpose of improving
such cities and towns, and whereas, there
are many cities and towns without the
necessary means to make needed perma
nent Improvements, and for the reason
that it is important that definite power
should be given to conform the tax law
of such cities and towns to the amended
constitution. Therefore, an emergency
exists and an imperative public necessity
demands the suspension of the constitu-
tional rule requiring the bill to be read
on three several days in each house, and
said rule is so suspended, and that this
act take effect and be in force from and
after it's passage, snd it is so enacted.
